Our M👀N tonight, and it's that time of the lunar cycle for Lunar V & Lunar X

As the #Moon rises at around 1pm UT on Fri 30th Dec, the #LunarX +#LunarV will be visible. They are challenging to spot visually on a daytime Moon, but photos should reveal them. Our next chance from the UK is in January, so don't panic if you miss them! #ClairObscurEffects
